    A and D are true, while B and F statements are false.

    Explanation:

    A) True. Since the standard gibbs free energy is

    ΔG = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q

    where Q = [P1]ᵃ ... / ([R1]ᵇ ...), representing the ratio of the product of concentration of chemical reaction products P and the product of concentration of chemical reaction reactants R

    when the system reaches equilibrium ΔG=0 and Q=Keq

    0 = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q → ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

    therefore the first equation also can be expressed as

    ΔG = RT*ln (Q/Keq)

    thus the standard gibbs free energy can be determined using Keq

    B) False. ΔG⁰ represents the change of free energy under standard conditions. Nevertheless, it will give us a clue about the ΔG around the standard conditions. For example if ΔG⁰>>0 then is likely that ΔG>0 (from the first equation) if the temperature or concentration changes are not very distant from the standard conditions

    C) False. From the equation presented

    ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

    ΔG⁰>0 if Keq<1 and ΔG⁰1

    for example, for a reversible reaction ΔG⁰ will be <0 for forward or reverse reaction and the ΔG⁰ will be >0 for the other one (reverse or forward reaction)

    D) True. Standard conditions refer to

    T = 298 K

    pH = 7

    P = 1 atm

    C = 1 M for all reactants

    Water = 55.6 M
